Beautiful alox SAK! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Stewart0494]

Thanks for the view and support.

i have the regular, fantastic kit. my original victorinox is now 36 years old and still works fantastic. this brand is the best value for money ever imho.

[@Stewart0494]

Agreed. Not always the best choice but always a solid option.

[@ronagoodwell2709]

That's a beauty! I'd love to see an Alox Explorer with mag. glass and inline Phillips driver. Maybe make the housing for the magnifying glass out of stainless. Same size. That would be sweet.

[@Stewart0494]

That would be awesome

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

small tip, you have super thin creditcard size "fresnel lenses " to fit in a wallet etc etc. costs like a euro. magnification is 5x. good when you lose glasses, or fine print. and much more useful than a tiny lens.

[@ronagoodwell2709]

@CyberBeep_kenshi Thanks but I already have a collection of smallish magnifying lenses, loupes, etc. I've had a few of the fresnel lenses. They're ok. But the idea of having the lens on a multi-tool is interesting to me. Purely for ease of access.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

@ronagoodwell2709 no worries, i came across it and have a few. helps with the rediculously small letters on bottles etc:-)

Hi Steve how are you doing hope you're well what's your favourite Swiss army knife? Also what Swiss army knife do you edc ?

[@jackMcRyder]

Congrats, TIL. Due to this video

[@Stewart0494]

Thanks

[@oliverhessenreither9511]

wow! the mountaineer is my daily user but the alox x is much more worthy -respekt, good work!

[@simonh6371]

My thoughts exactly on wishing Vic would add a saw to this, or actually a file to the Farmer X, to create a Ranger alox. That would be great to carry with Knipex or other pliers, maybe even a separate bit driver as well, if you want the full Monty.

[@RiderOftheNorth1968]

That is the complete Alox! I have been thinking that since a got my Farmer X a few years ago.

[@simonh6371]

@@RiderOftheNorth1968 Yep and also as a 5 layer alox it would only be the same thickness as a 4 layer celidor SAK such as the Huntsman, because alox scales are thinner. My Farmer x is the same thickness as my 3 layer Climber.

[@RiderOftheNorth1968]

@@simonh6371 That´s the sweet thing with the Farmer X: it is actually very slim for the amount of tools you get. A fifth layer would not be too bulky imho.

[@sameeralazawee7524]

Really very nice >>>>>>> Thanks .

[@m.k.7199]

Why did they call it the mountaineer? The only tool appropriate to the mountains is the one blade. I still take the German Army SAK to the field/mountains. I was given it when attending the German Bundeswehr Mountain School in the early 1980's and it's still going strong (although I have bought a backup since). My Grandfather served in the Italian Alpinis in WWI, and carried a SAK. He gave it to me in the 1960s. Unfortunately, it was lost before the 1980's.

[@Stewart0494]

I'm curious as well but, that is the name. Thanks for the view and comment.

[@raymondgrose9118]

Nice. Bummer there is not some sort of “Build your own” option from Victorinox

[@Stewart0494]

That would be an awesome idea. Probably too pricey to run a customs show in today's economy. I'm sure you could find someone to built it though.

[@dansgun]

me: Quick, I need a knife! Stewie: *goes into lockdown while he sorts through exactly which knife has exactly the tools to solve this situation* You're right about the ranger. Love my spyders and it's a spyderco with more tools.

[@Stewart0494]

Hahaha! Thanks for the view bud. Hope all is well.
